Smart agriculture has now become an essential tool for increasing productivity and reducing cultivation costs. In Corinthia, the first phase of new installations of the SynField system has been completed, offering olive and citrus producers continuous monitoring of field conditions and timely decision-making.
Installation Location of SynField
A new SynField smart agriculture installation was completed in Corinth (2nd km of Corinth – Argos Road, Regional Unit of Corinthia), in cooperation with the Region of Peloponnese. The project aims to support local producers through modern crop monitoring and management technologies.
Producers of these specific crops needed reliable, continuous, and easily accessible data to improve both the quality and quantity of their yield. The SynField devices were installed in lemon, orange, and olive orchards, providing continuous monitoring and remote control of environmental and soil conditions, while also contributing to the optimal scheduling of irrigation.
What the Installation Includes
A total of three SynField smart agriculture systems were installed. The setup includes two (2) SynField X2 head nodes and one (1) SynField X5 head node. Additionally, soil sensors were placed to record soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity at a depth of 30 centimeters, alongside a weather station to record local weather conditions (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall).
Key Benefits for the Producers
Through the SynField online platform, producers can now monitor the conditions prevailing in their crops in real time and receive automated alerts via email and/or SMS for critical events, such as extreme temperatures, frost risks, and more.
Utilizing real data directly from the field allows producers to schedule irrigation more effectively, limit unnecessary treatments, and protect their production from extreme weather events. Making data-driven decisions and continuously optimizing the farming process are now the guiding forces for achieving the maximum possible yield.
This specific installation represents another step toward the broader application of precision agriculture in Corinthia, leveraging field data for more efficient and sustainable agricultural production.
